According to the video, the USS Johnson at the ~6500m is basically at a depth that would be considered the worlds 15th ish tallest mountain and distance difference that is more than the tallest peaks in North America.
Everest and K2 are at over 8500m. The tallest mountains in North America are Denali at ~6100m and Logan at ~5900m.
Mount Robson is the highest in the Canadian Rockies at ~3954 metres, which is about 200m difference than the Titanic at ~3800m. Castle mountain not far from Calgary doesn't break 3000m and you're adding almost 30% to that difference.
